I believe every flower has eyes. With the eyes they can see the kindness of the old man. The blind man also grows flowers in his yard. Failing to see the beautiful flowers come out, he surely can hear the sound of 8.______.

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解(8 min.) The brightest star in the night sky, Sirius, is believed to be about 200­300 million years old. The sun and the moon are much older — about 4.5 billion years old.

　　New pictures taken by a telescope in space show ancient galaxies (星系) that blow those numbers away. Some of these images show galaxies that are about 13 billion years old. The universe itself is only about 13.7 billion years old, ce Telescope, which floats through space around the Earth, 353 miles up.

　　Scientists found that the most distant reaches of space have fewer bright galaxies than closer regions. The decrease in the number of galaxies was not surprising, based on what astronomers have already learned about the universe. To look deep into space is the same as looking back in time, because light from faraway galaxies takes a long time to reach the Earth. When astronomers look at a picture of a distant star of galaxy, they are seeing light that took billions of years to travel to the Earth. So when scientists look at these new pictures of distant galaxies, they see the star or galaxy as it looked millions or billions of years ago, at a time when the first galaxies were just forming.
